February 3-9 I used the Urban Decay Naked Ultimate Basics palette. I chose a few Colourpop Super Shock Shadows to add some shine to these, since the palette is fully matte.

Face Mask Challenge 2018 Update #3
Today I’m sharing my third update for my Face Mask Challenge. If you’d like to see my update from February, check it out here!
I missed my first day of the year early on in March. While I was on vacation, I ended up falling asleep before putting on the Clinique overnight mask I brought with me, and that officially ruined my streak!

Morphe x KathleenLights – One Week, One Palette #4
Today I’ll be reviewing the (unfortunately actually limited edition) palette curated by my favorite YouTube creator. I deeply adore this palette, just like I deeply adore Kathleen. I know this palette isn’t available anymore, but I think it’s important to continue sharing reviews and looks from older palettes beyond when they’re available in main retailers since there’s so many sites out there where you can purchase older or gently used makeup.

Colourpop I Think I Love You – One Week, One Palette #12
From March 24-30, I used the Colourpop I Think I Love You palette. After using the very colorful Makeup Revolution palette last week, I was ready for some neutral looks. This palette really fit the bill and is a go-to for me on days when I really don’t have the time to think too hard about a look.
Most-Used Makeup – March 2018
Psst! Please follow me on Instagram at natalieblends!
I can’t believe we’re already at the end of the month! The past few weeks really have flown by. Today, I’ll be sharing my most-used makeup for the month of March. As I mentioned in my last month’s Most-Used Makeup post, these products aren’t necessarily my most favorite products, but the ones I’ve used most often – whether that’s because it’s one of my Project Pan items or just something that I couldn’t stop reaching for.
This month I made a point to remind myself to do a look with all of my most-used products of the month so I could share it with you here!
LORAC PRO 2 – One Week, One Palette #3
I was craving more of the LORAC shadows, so I grabbed my LORAC PRO 2 palette for the third week of my One Week, One Palette project.

LORAC PRO Matte – One Week, One Palette #2
From January 12th through 19th I used the LORAC PRO Matte palette and the Milani Everyday Eyes palette in Must Have Metallics (08). I’m considering the LORAC palette the primary one this week since I can see myself pulling out the Milani palette again later on to supplement other palettes that are more matte-heavy.

Empties – March 2018
Today I’ll be sharing my March 2018 empties! I am happy to have used up 8 items this month, even if most of them were sample sized products. The reason I love reading and watching others’ empties posts/videos is because I love to hear about their experience using the entire product – how their opinion changed over time and if they’d repurchase it again in the future.

Makeup Revolution Reloaded Division – One Week, One Palette #11
This week (March 17-23) I used the Makeup Revolution Reloaded Division Palette. It’s pretty clear that this palette is *ahem* inspired by the ABH Subculture palette, but I’m not mad about that. Personally, I don’t think I would mind the soft formula that the Subculture palette has (LORAC shadows are my favorite, so this isn’t surprising), but I wanted to try these bolder shades out in a “lower stakes” way than splurging on a high-end palette.
Too Faced Semi-Sweet Chocolate Bar – One Week, One Palette #1
I am so excited to share today’s post, as it’s the first in my new series of eyeshadow palette reviews! From the second week of this year, I have been using one palette each week in an attempt to intentionally use all of the palettes in my collection. The first palette I used this year was the Too Faced Semi-Sweet Chocolate Bar palette from January 5-11, so today I’ll share my thoughts on this palette and go over what this series is all about.
